Another day, another breakdown averted!!

AAAHHHHHH!!! The kids are all in bed. They went down fifteen minutes early. That was really for my own sanity. They had a great day. They went to the park, played outside, "helped" cook every meal, and had lolli pops. Even with a glorious day for toddlers, they still managed to have several brushes with "the law" (that would be Clint and I). All three of them felt like today should be "let's not listen" day. They did not hear a single "NO", "GET DOWN", or "I AM GOING TO BEAT YOUR ASS". Is there a full moon soon? Well, they are in bed now so, let the good times roll. Clint and I are having a well deserved drink and the neighbors will be over in a little while to play some games. Oh, I made some yummy manicotti for dinner. Well, I thought it was good. You may hear otherwise when reading Clint's blog, who knows!!! He always says he likes what I make, but honestly I do not always like what I make. Let's not tell him that though. Ha ha ha!!! This is a bit random, but I forgot to mention it the other day. The girl I am babysitting for (don't forget it is supposed to be only temporarily because they are moving) asked me if I "wanted" to potty train her son. I am not sure where to start.
1. HELL NO. I don't even want to potty train my own.
2. I only have Emily potty trained and they are 27 months old.
3. Her son is only 24 months old.
4. My kids can say poop and pee and pull their own pants up and down.
5. Her son cannot.
I am in no way saying my kids are better (I mean they are..Oh be quiet...all parents think their kids are better) I am just saying he has not shown any of the classic signs that he is even remotely close to potty training and WHY would I want to take on that responsibility? Does it say dumbass on my forehead? That is a rhetorical question, by the way. Anyways, back to the dinner I made. I also made a salad like the ones you get at the Olive Garden!! It was delicious!!! MMMMMMMmmmmm!

Getting Started

This will be my first blog. I am copying the big brother. Seems like I did that a lot growing up. A little background first. I am the only girl in a family of three kids. We are all grown with our own children and still (even being almost 31) that weirds me out. When did we become adults and what exactly does that mean. We still tease,poke, and prod each other. The funny thing? Now it feels like there is so much love behind it. It seems like we all except each other for our similarities and our differences. Maybe that is what makes us adults. Who knows .

Penis juice and vodka

We have one more week of school here, yet my children have already disconnected the brain switch. I hate to tell them but we will home school throughout the summer. Luckily for them we can get our work done in less then two hours with only three kids and of course the fact that I sneak projects in throughout our everyday activities. Ethan decided he is exempt from the school dress ode because school is almost out and the daughter has jumped on that band wagon. I decided to let it slide. I figure a cute little t-shirt isn't going to ruin any one's grades, they were all turned in on the 24Th, so we will see if I get a call from the school. So today's little golden nugget of delight is brought to you by Ethan. Mom:Ethan, quit messing with your business. Go to your room if you want to do that. Ethan: I am not messing with it, it hurts. It feels like I am going to bleed when I pee. Mom: Oh honey, I am sorry but you will have to go to your Dad. He is in charge of penises. I handl

THE AMAZING RACE

I had never watched this show until the season with the "little person". That immediately caught my attention. I have watched The Amazing Race faithfully since then. Last night was the two-hour season premiere. There are two very interesting teams this time. One is a former POW with his girlfriend and the other....Rob and Amanda from survivor!!! Awesome. Everyone is pissed though. They all keep making comments about how they do not deserve to be there because they have already won. I think it is great that they are there. They do not have any kids. They have already won money to pay those pesky bills, why not see the world while they have the chance. I would. I hope they win, just to piss everyone else off. They could be reality TV junkies and go on every show. Next....American Idol? HA HA HA
